Forging the 21st Century T&E Tools in an Era of Great Power Competition

Registration Now Open


AGENDA (as of Sept 9th)

ONSITE PROGRAM

TECH SESSION PROGRAM

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Special Offer: Take two tutorials and then take CTEP test for free on Friday.   If you would like to take advantage of this offer- please complete the CTEP application  Deadline September 15th.  

* The DHS US Coast Guard Station and Cutters Tour has been confirmed. If you would like to attend the tour please contact Lena@itea.org to be added to the list of attendees. This tour can only accommodate 60 people (US Citizens only).


The current Global Power Competition (GPC) climate can pose a change to the acquisition and fielding process of most systems.  It is important to understand the 21st Century T&E Tools to improve testing to meet the GPC demand.  How will the military budget, Dod, DHS, and Commercial Industry adjust in a time of risk and change?  Is your organization ready? 

This year the Symposium will be coordinated by the Hampton Roads Chapter  with Volunteers from across the entire ITEA community.  Please plan on both attending, and more importantly, participating in this year’s Annual Symposium. Join us and help us explore these ideas and others related to “Forging the 21st Century T&E Tools in an Era of Great Power Competition’” as part of our 39th Annual International Symposium.
